Nearly 80 percent of content is living outside of a structured data environment. Information-driven software solutions need a way to unlock unstructured files like Word, PowerPoint and PDF, pull out the hidden and visible content that’s inside, and incorporate the data into their systems in a variety of different ways and formats.
